Rare big Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Keiji Miyama

This handcrafted creative (sosaku) Kokeshi doll by award-winning artist Keiji Miyama is titled "Ume no Kaori" (Scent of Plum Blossoms), as indicated by the calligraphy on its original wooden storage box. The doll features a smooth, rounded wooden head with a sleek, black bob hairstyle framing its face, minimalist painted eyes, a subtle red dot for a mouth, and soft blush on its cheeks. Its cylindrical wooden body is finished in a rich, reddish wood stain showcasing natural grain patterns and is intricately decorated with hand-painted plum blossom branches featuring pink and white flowers, accented by delicate stenciled patterns and gold details. A detailed sash (obi), striped in dark tones with a golden clasp design, wraps around the upper portion of the kimono body, completing this elegant and traditional piece of Japanese folk art.
